Jan Caeyers is a Belgian conductor, musicologist, Beethoven expert and biographer. His passion for Viennese classical music, and Beethoven in particular, has resulted in a long history of conducting in European concert halls.

His mission is to share Beethoven’s life and work with the widest possible audience, an endeavour that he undertakes as a conductor, author, and public speaker. These three disparate but complementary activities set Jan apart from other experts, and allow for a comprehensive and wholly original approach to Beethoven and his music.

His authoritative biography Beethoven: A Life is recognised today as the definitive international reference on Beethoven. Le Concert Olympique, the orchestra of which he is both the conductor and founder, is a distinguished and diverse ensemble that invigorates the works of Beethoven and his contemporaries, presenting refined and engaging musical experiences that linger long after their final notes.
